SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 792,810, dated June 20, 1905.

Application filed September 14, 1904. Serial No. 224,459.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ABEZ BLooD, merchant, of the cityof Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trucks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to imprdvements in trucks; and the object of the invention is to devise a cheap, light, strong, and convenient truck particularly adaptable for charcoal in bags when exposed for sale and equally adaptable for the reception of other commodities; and it consists, essentially, of two side pieces bent at the corners and meeting in the form of an apex at the center of the end, the two apexes being connected by a rod and the two side bases of each side being secured to crossbars having caster-wheels located underneath the outer ends of the same, the parts being otherwise constructed and arranged as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved truck. Fig. 2 isa cross-section.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

A A are the sides of the truck, which may be formed of any suitable material, preferably wood,such as ash,the sides being steamed, bent, and given a permanent set at a a, so as to extend upwardly and form the ends. The tops converge to an apex at the center, being slightly bent, as indicated, -so as to assume a vertical position. Through the vertical portion of the sides extends a rod B, which is held in position by cross-pins 6, which extend through the tops a a and the ends of the rod B.

O O are cross-bars, which are located at desired distances apart and are secured to the horizontal portion of the sides A A by the bolts 0 c.

D represents the caster-wheels, which are suitably secured underneath the ends of the cross-bars O O.

Such a truck as I describe I find particularly adaptable to exhibit charcoal in bags and is very convenient by reason that I can readily remove the bags out to the front of the store and then put them in at night with very little trouble. The device is very cheap and useful.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. A truck comprising the one-piece sides provided with two bends intermediate of their length, whereby the base and ends are formed, the tops of the ends converging and the sides being suitably secured at desired distances apart as and for the purpose specified.

2. A truck comprising the one-piece sides provided with two bends intermediate of their length, whereby the base and ends are formed, the tops of the ends converging and lying adjacent to each other and means for connecting the opposite pairs of tops together as and for the purpose specified.

3. A truck comprising the one-piece sides provided with two bends intermediate of their length, whereby the base and ends are formed, the tops of the ends converging and lying adjacent to each other, a connecting-rod extending through the center of the adjacently-located tops and the pins extending through the topls and the rod as and for the purpose speciliec 4. A truck comprising the one-piece sides provided with two bends intermediate of their length, whereby the base and ends are Formed, the tops of the ends converging and lying adjacent to each other, a connecting-rod extending through the center of the adjacently-located tops, the pins extending through the tops and the rod, and the cross-bars connecting the bases of the sides together as and for the purpose specified.
